You’re right, my comment does come across as flippant. I rewrote the comment too many times and lost the context. :(

And much like doctors, mechanics have a massive conflict of interest. If you're not careful, the mechanic will propose a bunch of unnecessary work on your car just to earn more money.

But both lawyers and mechanics are notorious for over billing and recommending unnecessary work?
I'd say medical care is an exception where we try to mandate (by law) that they act in our best interest.
Of course they are, that's why they seek professional help from people who have spent years studying medicine and who can presumably be trusted to understand the intricacies of the issues involved.
People are bad at handling their own auto repairs, that's why we have mechanics. They're bad at handling their own legal issues, that's why we have lawyers. Etc etc etc
It seems pretty harsh to react so flippantly to someone facing negative consequences to the advice given to them professionals. It's nothing other than victim blaming in my view.
